No sound after hard boot in FC1 on i845Glly
 

Hi all,
I am using FC1 with kde desktop on an Intel 845GLLY board with a 1.7 g P4 and 40 gig HDD. Earlier I could play all the formats. But lately due to some problem with the UPS, the box got a few power failures and had to hard boot. Recently to my amazement there is no sound in my system. I include here with some debugging info that I think may be of interest

I have already disabled arts on my system.
Any help will be keenly appreciated. Thanks in advance

looks like the modules are loaded, have you tried running a mixer, and unmuting your sound, or raising volumes?

Yes I have tried running the mixers but still the problem persists. How do I know if there is a problem with the sound card or not ? I suspect that the sound card is gone coz when I booted xp there was no sound in it too!!! What can be done ? Should I insert an third party sound card? which is the most compatible one to do?
thanks
shatam.

if you have a spare card, you could try that. here is a list of alsa supported cards

good luck.

I had the same problem but I lost power to my computer since I was being lazy and decided reboot was taking too long......
I am using Fedora Core 2 but this is what I used to get sound back:

modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss

then use

alsamixer

to set the sound off the default setting of mute

Hope it helps

I tried this and got the following output
[root@localhost fedora]# modprobe snd-intel8x0;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/sound/snd-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-intel8x0 failed

any suggestions ??
thanks

you said earlier that you don't have sound in xp either. have you been able to get that working? it's very possible the card is bad.

No the sound doesnot work in xp yet. But I cant comprehend the fact that all was well before that fatal reboot and afterwards the sound simply dissappeared. Is there any other hard ware probing and trouble shooting tool in linux ??
thanks
shatam

hi there ....but my opinion is 2 re compile the kernel....hope tat wuld be a better chioce 2 get it working....
